Helicopter To Perform Herbicide Application In Romeoville

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Between Tuesday, Sept. 13, and Friday, Sept. 6, aerial herbicide applications will be done via a helicopter in Romeoville, according to a release from the Village.

The treatment is for common reed, and a helicopter is used to target hard-to-reach weed populations. Treatments will take place at Lily Cache Greenway (East and West), Discovery Park and Boucher Prairie.

The application will take one to two days to complete, the Village said.

For areas too close to buildings for a helicopter, an ATV will be used for ground applications.

You can find maps of where herbicide will be sprayed on the Village website.
